Guardians Arrested For Abusing Disabled Woman

A couple in Toledo, Ohio was recently arrested and charged for allegedly abusing and neglecting a 53-year-old woman that they are the legal guardians of. In 1994, Norman and Susan Demski were named the guardians of Lori Demski, who was deemed mentally and physically disabled.

Mr. Demki found his sister Lori badly injured and bleeding when he returned home after Lori was left alone for five hours, according to court affidavits. Lori was taken to the hospital where it was determined that she was attacked by two dogs at the home, had broken bones, and what appeared to by human bite marks on her body, according to police reports. The couple has been released, but cannot contact Lori.
